Product Information

• Name: Cephradine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cephradine is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which is a synthetic derivative of cephalosporin C, originating from the mold Cephalosporium acremonium. Its mode of action involves interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cephradine binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis, which leads to cell lysis and death.
